Xi Van Fleet is a Senior Fellow at 1776 Action and author of, Mao's America: A Survivor’s Warning. Xi Van Fleet grew up in Mao’s China. She spent her entire school years in the Chinese Cultural Revolution. After high school, she, along with all the urban youths, was forced to work in the fields for 3 years to be re-educated by the peasants. She was able to go to college only after Mao’s death. In 1986 she came to America as a student to pursue her graduate studies. She worked in the field of Information Management for the past 30 years. As a private citizen, she has never been involved politically. Compelled by her personal experience during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the realization that what she has experienced is taking place here in America, she has committed herself to warn the American people about the threat of Socialism/Communism, and the danger of the current woke movement which is a Marxist Cultural Revolution.
